Description

Definition of a continuous band track assembly using an ANCFshell-based web A track assembly consists of a sprocket, an idler (with tensioner mechanism), a set of suspensions (road-wheel assemblies), and a collection of track shoes.

This class defines the template for a track assembly using a web modeled as an FEA mesh with ANCF shell elements.
